How strange to think, amidst all the fetishistic second-skin pieces saturating the fashion world this season, that it all started with the gentle reintroduction of the leather jacket.
My dalliance slowly developed from that staple piece into a fully fledged obsession. A leather trim / pocket /sleeve has the ability to make me weak at the knees, and now I think I’ve finally found the ultimate item to add to my rapidly multiplying collection – Muubaa’s Lantana T-shirt Dress.
Muubaa is pretty much leading the way when it comes to leather. Its creations are always contemporary with an element of the experimental (I also own a jacket by the label – a suede body with removable leather arms to transform it into a sleeveless piece) and this dress is a perfect example of its design signature.
It’s made from a buttery-soft brushed leather, so matt and deliciously pliable that you could pair it with your trusty biker jacket and heavy black boots – head-to-toe in ferocious leather – and pull it off with aplomb.
